Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) Provider Self-Learning Package for Nurses

This self-learning package ensures all Southern Health–Santé Sud nurses who offer the TST develop core competencies related to tuberculin skin testing; includes education regarding administering a TST, which in combination with self and peer evaluation, will allow health care providers to safely provide TSTs to Southern Health-Santé Sud employees. Clinic nurses and nurse practitioners from Gladstone, Notre Dame, St. Claude, and Steinbach Quick Care Medical Clinics are asked to complete this module prior to administering TSTs.

• Review the TST Provider Online Education Package and the built-in Knowledge Check
• Use the Critical Elements Checklist for TST Administration to self evaluate your TST knowledge and skill.

The Critical Elements Checklist for TST Administration should then be completed with a peer.
• A regulated health care provider is responsible for directing his/her own learning experience with the goal of reaching and maintaining competence in TST administration practice. Keep a record of this self-assessment and peer evaluation for your files.

LOSS of SERVICES

a health care worker (HCW) selected and trained as a champion to observe and provide feedback to other members of the health care team as they are donning and doffing PPE. This role is intended to be part of a culture of safety and continuous quality improvement in infection prevention & control (IP&C) routine practices and additional precautions. 

Please refer to policy Personal Protective Equipment PPE Observer

The goal is for the Site Lead to select two to three HCWs per unit who will be trained as PPE Observers by the site Educator or ICP.  Once trained, PPE Observers are to conduct and document at least 2 PPE observations per month.

The Site Lead will communicate the selected staff to the site Educator/ICP, who will provide education in one of two ways:

Option 1) In person session: The selected candidates will be scheduled with their site Educator/ICP for classroom training that will include:

Use of the PPE Observer Audit Tool
Power Point Presentation
PPE and You
Knowledge Check
Donning and Doffing Demonstration

Option 2) Online Self Learn Package and Return Demonstration:

• Part A: Online review of the pre-recorded training here at a time that works with your schedule. A QR Code is available here QR poster if you wish to access from your personal device, off the regional network  
• Part B: Once the online portion is completed, the selected staff member should follow up with Educator/ICP for a short in-person session to perform a Donning and Doffing Return Demonstration and review the use of the Audit Tool

*Note if Option 2 selected, both Part A and B must be completed in order to be considered a PPE Observer.*

Key Considerations:
Questions or concerns can be directed to your site Educator or ICP
Only those selected for PPE Observer training are required to take this training
The training time is ~2 hours for both Option 1 and 2
Educators/ICPs will submit your name to QHR to indicate you are trained as a PPE Observer
Attempts should be made to perform these new skills routinely in order to remain competent
